Hypothesis: We hypothesize that ACEs, as a precipitating factor, will decrease the quality of life in adolescents regardless of having a chronic illness or not. However, we suspect that there will be a differential effect between the two groups as we expect the presence of ACEs will exacerbate…

The research question is the most important component of any research project, the research should aim to answer the main question throughout each section; for example, the literature review must be directly linked to the question (Finch and Fafinski, 2012).

marriage would not have done this. In the case of the elopement of Wickham and Lydia, this is very much looked down upon and as something rather radical and misfortunate for the family. Austen represents the high-society of her time from an observational point of view, ironically describing human behaviour.

Introduction: Deception is a common behavior displayed amongst individuals of varying age groups. It may take the humblest form of agreeing with a person’s opinion, whereas, we may not agree (e.g., saying we like the color of a dress when we do not) or other forms such as lying about an intense transgression. Deception is also directed toward ourselves (e.g., as to deny what we are feeling, when we really do feel this way). This action is observed in all age groups, however, researchers…

egocentrism. Because of egocentric thinking, preoperational children may “hide” by covering their eyes or only parts of their bodies, believing that if they can’t see the seeker than they, themselves, can’t be seen. Other preoperational reasoning errors result from thinking that is intuitive, rather than logical.
